Wow. Kerry responds to question about attacks on him and his intentions from certain Israeli pols and commentators viz his quixotic [to be kind] 'peace' quest by saying that's fine, he's endured attacks from people shooting real bullets - ahhh... idiot? Fool? Simpleton? What do we call someone who says stuff this insulting and moronic and detached from reality while on duty as the top diplomat for a superpower? Or is that it - detached from reality - ie naively liberal and this verbal slip is a manifestation of how America's left views the Mideast as essentially a problem created by Israel's jingoistic conservatives and the fabled Jewish Lobby reviled by left wing intellectuals and thus the tendency to marginalize their concerns as immature and unevolved?
